Editor's note

El Debarge and the family band's soulful falsetto

The DeBarges' smooth harmonies and El's solo work kept R&B feeling warm.

For the family sound, 'All This Love' still lands. His solo take is right there in 'Sexy Lady', same falsetto, just a little later.

That falsetto on 'All This Love' gave early-80s soul a new kind of glide. The family harmonies on 'Rhythm of the Night' turned a dance track into something tender. Even later solo cuts like 'Heart Full of Love' held onto that vocal clarity when a lot of R&B got slicker.

It started with seven siblings from Grand Rapids cutting 'The DeBarges' in 1983. After the group paused, El kept recording, from 'In a Special Way' to the 2008 album 'Second Chance'.

Archive material and source history

El Debarge started as a family band of seven siblings from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their 1983 debut album 'The DeBarges' included the song 'All This Love,' which became a soulful anthem that helped establish their sound. The group's music featured tight harmonies and El Debarge's distinctive falsetto vocals.

In the mid-1980s, they released several successful singles including 'Rhythm of the Night' and 'Time Will Reveal.' The band faced personal challenges that led to a temporary disbandment in the late 1980s, after which El Debarge pursued a solo career. He continued recording material like 'Heart Full of Love' and 'Lost Without Her Love,' maintaining his vocal style.

El Debarge has released multiple albums over time, from the early 'In a Special Way' to later projects like 'Second Chance' in 2008. The music often blends R&B and soul elements while keeping the focus on vocal arrangements and emotional themes. Songs like 'Lay With You' and 'Where You Are' show this consistent approach to melody and harmony.
